It simply ran some mindless code. The shape is something evolved out of the algorithm. We can also see this in the brain. The human brain becomes a jumbled mess after neuron firing sequences, but promptly reorganizes itself because a few governing PHYSCIAL principles. The main point here is we can see simple physical laws acting in such a way as to organize complex system with no agency involved, the instructions are there in the physical laws.The analogy about the self organization of a computer is silly. Just because nature doesn't create computers doesn't mean complicated designs don't arise form simple natural laws. If you really want a computer that arose from natural selection the human brain is probably the best example.</blockquote>
